Language Forge

Build together and be more productive!

Open up your data to others. Maintain control as to who edits. Review comments.
Engage a wider audience: researchers, teammates, native speakers. It's up to you.

Sync with FieldWorks

Collaborate on Language Forge then sync those changes back into Fieldworks Language Explorer.
Make further refinements in FieldWorks and then Send/Receive those back to Language Forge

User Roles and Permissions

Assign each member of your project a role: observer, commenter, or collaborator. Customize what
other members see down to the field level.

Access Anywhere

Language Forge is built on web-technology, so it's available on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and
Android

Engage Others while Retaining Control

The commenting feature on Language Forge lets users comment on and suggest changes to individual
fields in the dictionary. As a manager you can review each comment and take action, resolve the
comment or mark it as TODO for later.
